Due to the Madden 12 thread, I'd thought i'd post what the news is about this years edition.

-There will be no more picks from defenders looking over the shoulder or having the ball come over head. Defense must face the ball.
- Super jump abilities for LBs/DBs has been taken away
-Receiver icons will light up for pass plays when they would expect the ball on certain routes. Doesn't mean they're open, but when they would expect the ball coming out of breaks.
-There are new accuracy tweaks. They want you to throw into windows instead of waiting for the receiver gets open (almost impossible on 12)
- New throwing motions, and specific drop backs for all qbs (3,5,7 step drops)
-QBs do PA faster so you don't get raped by defenses constantly.

All I've heard so far really, but it seems that this game should play better. However, that is what is said every year. Until Madden gets a true competitor imo (2ksports) they will continue to put out a shitty product.

lol I don't get the hate one that, they just made it so you can customize it to how you want to play a league. The commissioner of the created league will be able to say what kind of league it is. For example, you can set it so everyone plays as a QB, or everyone plays as a CB, or everyone plays as a coach, or anyone can play as any position/coach they want.

I'm anxious to see how NCAA turns out after a few days of its' release. typically, NCAA blows Madden out of the water (IMO, anyway); but it should like Madden may have gotten their stuff together.
I'll need to play the NCAA demo again (assuming it's still there) - I played it when it cam out, and though 'meh'. felt exactly the same to me. Hopefully this isn't the case with Madden. I might actually consider buying Madden if it's not.

I hope with this new engine it's not as herky jerky as it was in years past. like a guy running in a full sprint and turn a 90 degree angle on a dime. regardless of player. Looks a little smoother in the small amount I've seen online

I seriously doubt that it's going to be any better. They still don't have any competition to worry about, so honestly, why would they take the time to make the improvement? People will buy it regardless. It doesn't make any sense from the business standpoint and they've been milking their monopoly for years.

They've said this BS every year, I'm not buying it. Let's face it, we'll probably never get another good football game again in our lives.
